Acupressure

Online Research: Go Online. Look for and write in a new post the following information:

Duties and Responsibilities: Unlike conventional Western medical practice, acupuncture professionals are trained to treat the entire individual rather than the specific illness or condition. They take into account a patient's physical, mental and emotional condition in order to determine the proper course of treatment. In addition to providing acupuncture therapy, practitioners help their patients achieve balance and wellness in their everyday lives.

Salary: About $61,000

Education: Most licensed acupuncturists hold master's degrees or post-baccalaureate certificates from schools accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. As the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine  explains , most programs require 1,500-2,000 hours of acupuncture training and take 3-4 years to complete. Graduates must pass the certification exam offered by NCCAOM and fulfill any additional state licensing requirements.

 Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why Not?  I would like to be a  acupressure because I want to help my dad to get better from his back pain.
